I'm going to get on my old man soapbox for a second here.

I remember reading an article about what happened in another country that had banned spanking about the time spanking was becoming socially taboo in the United States. The author predicted that we would become a nation of spoiled brats.

Now years later you have an entire generation that was raised without spanking trying to raise another generation. Without spanking, parents are deprived of a crucial tool in teaching immature minds too young to appreciate reason that actions have consequences. Discipline, courtesy, and personal accountability have been on the decline ever since.

Yells at the kids to get off my lawn and gets off the soapbox.
